Southern Worthersee Videos: Part 2

Two weeks since Southern Worthersee and the videos are still pouring out! It seems that everyone’s car at the event got into at least one of them. It’s great to see so many videographers out there covering the event because everyone loves videos. If you made a video and want to see it featured here then shoot us an e-mail or post it on the Facebook page. We’ll check it out and post it up.

The first video this week features Rezmoto dog Porsche at 2:30. Oh and a lot of cool cars too.

This next video was slightly different approach to filming SoWo. Instead of looking for best of show, YouTube user bryantpcopeland decided to “film all the ‘misfit toys’ if you will, I knew all the cars that would make it into everyone’s videos and stayed away from them.” I like it, giving the little guy credit.

awol.tv: E3S6

Awol.tv’s newest episode E3S6 looks at VW Days, an event held every year in France. The show looks amazing and feature a lot of sweet older VW’s. If you’re willing to make the trip or already live in Europe, check out the site here. But, if you’re like most of us and can’t make it all the way to France just to look at some awesome Volkswagens then hopefully awol.tv’s E3S6 does it justice.

Moscow 500+ Documentary


(Source: Jalopnik)

The Moscow 500+ isn’t really on anyone’s radar unless you live in Russia, but this new documentary on YouTube may change all of that. The Moscow 500+ or the Unlim 500+ as they call it in the video is a drag event similar to the Texas Mile, but instead of being on a open runway like they do in Texas this Moscow event is held on a drag strip in the woods. That doesn’t seem to stop a sizable group of luxury car owners from going head to head to throw down the fastest mile and 1/4 mile times. 1st place was a huge surprise to me, going to a tuned Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 8 with a 1/4 mile time of 9.734 seconds, 2nd place was a Nissan GT-R R35 which had a time of 9.904 seconds, and it’s not until 5th place do we see the famous Bugatti Veryon putting up a time of 10.129 seconds. The Documentary is about 50 minutes and covers the whole event really well. I’m thinking a trip to Russia just got added to the long list of car events to attend.

Targa Tasmania 2011

A few weeks ago was the ending to the world famous Targa Tasmania Rally held all over the island of Tasmania. The five day event has a total of 47 races 9 each day moving from checkpoint to checkpoint. Porsche has videos up with summaries of all five days of the event. The event has multiple division from Modern to Early Classic. This year the Modern division winner was Tony Quinn in a Nissan GT-R, Late Classic went to Duane Rodgers in a 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera, and Early Classic was won by Jack Waldron in a 1955 Fiat Abarth 750 . On all accounts Targa Tasmania looked to be another great tarmac rally event.
